According to Maslow there are FIVE basic human needs. Starting with survival.
1. Physiological- survival
2. Safety
3. Love and Belonging
4. Esteem
5. Self-Actualizaton
Interestingly enough that "ESTEEM" is on two levels. The lower version has to do with fame and glory. The higher version is focused on Strength, Self-Mastery and Self-Respect. It seems to be an EITHER/OR.
The sb prez is the lower version of esteem seeking fame and glory 24/7. I guess he isn't alone in that.
The self-actualization part has to do with wanting to become the best one can be.....whatever one is capable of being is the goal.
So if you already think you ARE the best you can be you have achieved self-actualization! Congratulations!
